It supports a streaming data timeline technology that allows users to quickly navigate and visualize hundreds of data signals at the same time without losing overview or performance. The following image depicts the architecture that will be used in this example. ![sparkplug-clarify-diagram-4](https://cdn.document360.io/54093ab5-6b22-4542-a265-04377931f11a/Images/Documentation/sparkplug-clarify-diagram-4.jpg) ## Clarify Configuration If you haven't signed up on Clarify yet, [click here](https://www.clarify.io/).
